So my housing situation here in Dublin is horrific. I might have a job in the UK and much better choice of housing. DD is turning 16 in September though. How would she slot into school... I know she would be in GCSE year. Would a school even take her. She's bright.

I'm in Birmingham and is definitely try the 14-16 academy at Bournville College. It's tiny and run separately to the main college but they offer a full 14-16 gcse programme and was rated good by Ofsted.
Quite a few of the kids there have been homeschooled and they have specialist tutors. You still need to apply through the LA

Sending you good vibes for your job interviews.

Given your update I think moving would be a good thing for you and your daughter. I can’t comment on schools in Birmingham, but wish you luck in your interviews.
